Yet another trip to Bangkok. My third this year. I have posted on the 1st trip but not the second because we went to too many places during the second trip and i was really lazy. Haha.. Back to the trip that i just went. It was a short 4 days 3 nights trip. I went with my best buddy Cat..


A picture of her with her second fave cartoon character, Spongebob Squarepants. Her first was Patrick Star.













The hotel we stayed in was Samran Place. A very basic no frills hotel. But the service staff was friendly & polite. It wasn't too difficult to catch a cab there. Plus the security guy was a friendly chap who would flag your cab for you. The most important thing was that the hotel doesn't have a creepy feel and the room is bright! & it cost only S$38/rm/nite with breakfast!



The toilet was clean and had a bathtub. However there wasn't any hairdryer (You can request for it). They have Star Movie, which was good enough for both of us. Haha.. They have ESPN & BBC too! Plus some other channels which i can't remember.











For Breakfast we were given choices of Asian or American sets. I had the American breakfast with 2 toast, scramble eggs, sausage & ham (yes singular cos there was only 1 of each) & pineapple juice (to be honest it's quite disgusting). You can have coffee or tea.











Dinner at Manhatten Fish Market at Central World. I'm not too sure why the waitress was doing that but i supposed she was melting the chesse on top of the prawns.











We had the seafood platter. It consist of fried fish with lemon butter sauce, fried calamari, fried oysters, grilled prawns, fries and garlic fried rice. Yummy! We spent about 500baht on that dinner with drinks.






I solemnly swear to reduce, reuse & recycle!

















Tip: If you aren't carrying a haversack, bring along a big tote bag to put all your purchases. It is enviromentally friendly too!









We had our last lunch at Black Canyon. We weren't too happy with the food. I ordered the prawn tomyam soup with rice noodles. There were so much onions in it that it tasted more like sour onion soup. Quite disgusting really..












Cat ordered Thai green curry.. She was even more upset than me. The curry was very watery & there were these weird smelling leaves. Her verdict? "The worst green curry i ever had"












Luckily the desert save the day. We ordered red rubies. The waterchestnuts inside was fresh and crunchy.














Oh & a little info about Vat Refund. You need to spend at least 2000 baht a day and at least 5000 baht throughout your trip to qualify for refund. Daily if you spend more than 2000 you'll need to register for refund. For example if you spend 2000 baht in Zen, you need to bring your receipt to the refund counter in the store to register. They'll give you a letter, which you'll need to present to the refund counter in the airport, together with your other refund letters, before you check in. & the best part... You gotta show your purchases. All of it.
